More quotes by William Shakespeare
Pain pays the income of each precious thing.
William Shakespeare
There was never yet fair woman but she made mouths in a glass.
William Shakespeare
O, where is loyalty? If it be banished from the frosty head, Where shall it find a harbor in the earth?
William Shakespeare
Under the greenwood tree, Who loves to lie with me And tune his merry note, Unto the sweet bird's throat Come hither, come hither, come hither. Here shall he see No enemy But winter and rough weather.
William Shakespeare
But thought's the slave of life, and life time's fool.
William Shakespeare
Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove. O, no! It is an ever-fixed mark, That looks on tempests and is never shaken. It is the star to every wandering bark, Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
William Shakespeare
For a noble heart, the most precious gift becomes poor, when the giver stops loving.
William Shakespeare
I go, I go, look how I go, swifter than an arrow from a bow
William Shakespeare
Virtue preserv'd from fell destruction's blast, Led on by heaven, and crown'd with joy at last.
William Shakespeare
All hoods make not monks.
William Shakespeare
Good wombs have borne bad sons. -- (Miranda, I:2)
William Shakespeare
Never anything can be amiss, when simpleness and duty tender it.
William Shakespeare
Parting is such sweet sorrow
William Shakespeare
A man cannot make him laugh - but that's no marvel he drinks no wine.
William Shakespeare
Had I but died an hour before this chance, I had liv'd a blessed time for, from this instant, There's nothing serious in mortality: All is but toys renown, and grace is dead The wine of life is drawn, and the mere lees Is left this vault to brag of.
William Shakespeare
Ships are but boards, sailors but men there be land-rats and water-rats, water-thieves and land-thieves, I mean pirates, and thenthere is the peril of waters, winds, and rocks.
William Shakespeare
A good old man, sir. He will be talking. As they say, when the age is in, the wit is out.
William Shakespeare
Good name in man and woman, dear my lord, Is the immediate jewel of their souls: Who steals my purse steals trash ’tis something, nothing ’twas mine, ’tis his, and has been slave to thousands But he that filches from me my good name Robs me of that which not enriches him, And makes me poor indeed.
William Shakespeare
You are not worth another word, else I'd call you knave.
William Shakespeare
They have a plentiful lack of wit.
William Shakespeare
